Rhythmstrictlymeansmeasuredtime

Rhythm strictly means measured time, and is equally applicable to dancing, music, poetry, and prose. Rhythm is the heart of dancing as it is of music. In classic prose rhythm was governed by more or less rigid rules; in modern prose it is to a. great extent u, question of taste. In classic poetry rhythm was almost the one test of formal excellence; in modern poetry it is to some extent modified by other principles. [Metre.]
